Search FAQs

Currently, the University of North Texas does not specifically mandate the depositing of data in public databases, but it has adopted an Open Access Policy that recognizes the University’s responsibility to the larger society and encourages faculty to make their work publicly available. Some federally-funded grant agencies do require "public access" to both published results and research data. See the specific funding agency requirements for more information.

Works of the U.S. federal government are generally not protected by copyright in the United States and are automatically in the public domain (17USC§ 105); however, there are numerous exceptions and refinements to this rule.

State and local governments may, and often do, claim copyright in their publications. It is their prerogative to set policies that may allow, require, restrict, or prohibit claim of copyright on some or all works produced by their government units. (See CENDI FAQ 3.1.3)

Smoking and tobacco products are not permitted in the Libraries. University policy prohibits smoking in all campus buildings and within 20 feet of any entrance to a campus building. See: Library Use Policy

Any individual may use materials within the guidelines established by the libraries within the appropriate buildings/areas. Materials are checked out only to persons with proper ID. For more information read the Library Use policy.

Because we have a small staff in the Archives, we cannot conduct research for others that may be significantly time consuming. We are happy to look for the answer to simple questions about the history of UNT or basic information about the collections in the Archives.

Simple Question Example: "What year was UNT founded?"

Complex Question Example: "Could you look through the district Court Civil Case Papers, 1849-1900,for Cooke County,and find the one in which my relative was involved?"

Yes. We are happy to include work created by current UNT authors, even if it was completed before they came to UNT. This assists authors by providing one, centralized digital repository where all of the research and scholarship over their career can be archived and preserved.

Cell phones should be turned off or set to a non-audible signal while you are in the Libraries. Cell phones should be used only in designated areas and you should be considerate of others and keep your conversations short and your voice lowered. See: Library Use Policy

The Archives and Rare Books department employs students in paid and unpaid positions. Open student positions are listed on the UNT student job website, linked here. If you are interested in doing your internship or practicum in Archives and Rare Books contact please contact us directly.

Yes. An Author Addendum is a legal instrument that can be added to a publishing agreement in order to allow an author to retain certain rights to their work. The Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) website provides information for authors on securing their rights and provides an Addendum to Publication Agreement that authors can download and include as a supplement to their publishing contract. For questions or more information, e-mail us.

The 24 Common does offer color printing. Currently enrolled UNT students are subject to the Student Computer Labs fees for color. To check if other lab offer color printing and the current print rate for color printing in SCL’s across campus click the individual lab links on the SCL website.

Requests for all other room reservations unrelated to library instruction must be submitted through the Library Facilities and Systems office. Please provide information about the space you need and the use. See the individual floor maps linked here for room numbers, etc.

To access your library account online, go to Accounts Login and fill in your EUID and Password under UNT Library Catalog Login. Once you login you will be able to request renewal of your items, check the status of holds, view fine totals, and manage preferred searches.

The Preservation staff performs preservation work on our collection materials, but we do not generally repair items from the general public. If you would like to contact us, we will be happy to offer you some suggestions or refer you to a list of professional conservators in the area.

TWU Faculty may check out most Library materials after setting up an account at the Library Services Desk on the 1st floor of Willis Library. See the individual circulation policies for information on specific material types, loan periods, and check out limits.

The Preservation Department can bind materials that do not belong to UNT, visit the Binding and Repair page for prices and services of repairing personal items. However, we do limit the number of outside materials we will work on each month. Please visit the Preservation Department website for more information about prices and scheduling an appointment.

ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) products are available to anyone, including the general public, by using a computer on the UNT campus. Currently-enrolled UNT students, faculty and staff can access ASME products off campus with a UNT EUID and password. (See Tips and Tricks for Using UNT Library Electronic Resources)

If for some reason you are not able to access a specific journal within the database or need additional help locating journal articles, please contact Beth Thomsett-Scott directly at 940-369-7200 or by email.

The Discovery Park Library also has the ASME Journals in print. To locate a specific journal, do a journal title search in the UNT Library Catalog.

No, a work does not have to be published or registered with the United States Copyright Office to receive copyright protection. A work simply has to be “fixed in a tangible medium of expression” to be copyrighted. It also only must convey a modicum of creativity to be copyrighted. Thus, even notes one takes down on a napkin in a coffee shop are instantly given copyright protection.

All researchers are expected to be able to explain and defend their results. Doing so usually entails maintaining complete records of how data were collected. The manner in which one maintains such records and makes them available to others will vary from project to project, and may depend upon funder requirements. Good data management should include supporting documentation and metadata, as well as attention to file naming and data formats, security & privacy protocols, access control, and backup & preservation measures. For more information, see our Data Management libguide.

Not necessarily. The expectation is that all data will be made available after a reasonable length of time ( sometimes called an "embargo period"). However, what constitutes a reasonable length of time will be determined by the community of interest or the needs of the project, and may depend up on funder requirements. When you deposit your data into a data repository, you can review your options for setting access controls and embargo periods.

Government Documents Department staff members provide assistance when you have questions, need directions, or want advice about finding government, business, geographic, statistical, or legal information.

The UNT Libraries Government Documents Department owns hundreds of technical and field manuals published by the War Department and the Navy Department between 1939 and 1947. There are also numerous technical manuals (TMs) and field manuals (FMs) published from 1947 to present.

There are several ways to obtain copies of technical manuals.

The best way to determine if UNT owns the technical manual you are looking for is to search the Library Catalog.

You may be able to obtain a copy through Interlibrary Loan. If you know which manuals you are looking for, submit the request at your local library’s Interlibrary Loan office, and they will try to borrow the manual from a library that owns it.

If you wish to purchase a manual, Military/Info Publishing sells photocopies of technical manuals. Their site is organized by subject and by manual number.

Many people look to the government to find out how to apply for a grant or to get "free money," which they have seen advertised on television or in various publications. Grants usually go to state and local governments or nonprofit organizations, which then use the money to operate assistance programs locally. It may be difficult for an individual to qualify for a federal grant.

Our short bibliography of Guides to World War I & II Posters lists books that provide background on World War I and World War II posters. Some of these books are available at UNT, and some may be available at other libraries or through Interlibrary Loan.

More books about posters can be identified by doing a subject search in the Library Catalog with the "Collection" field set as "Government Documents".

Faculty, instructors, adjunct and teaching fellows can place media materials on the reserve shelf for their students to come and watch at the Media Library in Chilton Hall. These items cannot leave the library to ensure that they are available for the students of the specified course. To place media items on reserve, please look into the Placing Items on Reserves page for specific directions.

E-Books are accessed through the UNT Library Catalog or through Electronic Resources. When you find the item, click on the title and follow the instructions. For more information on E-Books at UNT Libraries, consult the E-Book Collections Guide

Search the course reserves by course number, instructor, or title. When you find the item you want, click on the title. You will be asked for your EUID, password and the course password. The course password will be given to you by the instructor.

UNT Password: Go to http://ams.unt.edu and reset your password. It normally takes 5-15 minutes for the new password to take effect. You can log in as a guest at the Libraries' computers to reset your password.

Your Catalog Password: Well, for UNT students, faculty, and staff, this is the same as above. Visitors will need to contact the Library Services Desk

Our Citation and Style Guides Web page provides general guidelines for citing various types of publication, including government documents and legal publications.

Citation Guides and Style Manuals for Government Publications provides guidelines and examples for citing government documents in specific styles; provides guidelines for citing documents from specific government agencies; and provides guidelines on how to prepare certain types of documents for publication.

DocsCite, a service provided by the Arizona State University Libraries, automatically constructs a citation for you in MLA or APA format, based on information you enter.

Several style manuals are available at the Eagle Commons Library Service Desk.

If you are writing for a class or for publication, your instructor or publisher is always the final authority to consult for determining which style to use as well as for determining the proper format for a specific citation.

In order to avoid last-minute deadline crises, we recommend that you always make a photocopy of the title page, and/or write down the call number of any government publication you use for research projects. Without this information, it is extremely difficult to relocate a document you may need for writing your bibliography.

For further assistance with legal research, please visit the Eagle Commons Library Service Desk in Sycamore Hall, or contact the Government Documents Department by E-mail, postal mail, or telephone.

The Government Documents staff are not attorneys or paralegals and are neither authorized nor qualified to practice law. We can help you identify and locate print and online sources and can assist you in using these sources, but we cannot conduct research for you, give you legal advice, or interpret laws or cases for you.

Information about the U.S. Census, including where to find data published by the Census, is available on our Census Subject Guide.

Information about where to find statistical data published by federal, state, local, international, and foreign government agencies, as well as data available from commercial sources, is available on our Statistical Resources web page.

You may request a renewal of your Interlibrary Loan book through your ILLiad account or by contacting Interlibrary Loan. Renewals are granted at the discretion of the lending library. Renewals may not be requested for overdue materials.

UNT IDs are automatically renewed as long as a student is enrolled or faculty/staff are currently employed. Courtesy Card holders and unenrolled UNT students will need to come to the Library Services Desk on the 1st floor of Willis Library to inquire about renewing library privileges.

The guest login is the default when you click the "I have read and understand these statement" button. Using software such as Microsoft Office on the computers in the libraries requires that you log in as a student/staff/faculty with your EUID and password. The computer screen will direct you to the log in screen if you are entering a software program with EUID access required. See also the Academic Computing and User Services web page.

Co-authors share an undivided ownership in copyright. Each co-author may utilize or license for use the entire work, but he or she must account to his or her co-author for any acquired profits. Each co-author is prohibited from granting an exclusive right to utilize a work without all co-authors' consent.

Data management planning is primarily about organizing, curating, and preserving research data throughout the course of its useful lifespan (or the "Data Life Cycle"). Open access publishing (making published articles or data freely available) is a separate issue that is not usually required for the data management plan itself. While some federally-funded grants do have a "public access" requirement for research results or data, it is important to carefully review those funder guidelines to determine what types of publications or repositories will meet that requirement.

You submit your items to the repository, most commonly via email, and include as much or as little additional information as you would like. We normalize the file formats for archiving, write a descriptive metadata record for each item, and email you once your items have been uploaded to UNT Scholarly Works. For complete submission information, see the Submissions page.

On March 9, 2011, the UNT Faculty Senate voted to adopt an Open Access Policy which relates specifically to peer-reviewed journal articles. In addition to housing the peer-reviewed journal articles covered under the UNT Open Access Policy, UNT Scholarly Works offers an outlet for scholars to archive and provide access to all of their research and scholarship, including working papers, presentations, academic posters, artwork - the scholarly output of your discipline. Items in UNT Scholarly Works may be made Open Access (available for public use), or restricted to the UNT Community. Optional levels of licensing are also available for all items. For more information on Open Access and the UNT Open Access Policy, visit the Open Access @ UNT website.

UNT Scholarly Works provides a central, digital archive for all of the research and scholarship of our UNT Community. The repository provides the additional benefits of full-text searching, a permanent and stable URL, viewable usage statistics, visibility on all major search engines, wider dissemination and increased citations. Putting items in the Scholarly Works repository collection also gives you flexibility to make copyrighted or embargoed items searchable and discoverable by the UNT community or other researchers while maintaining access restrictions.

The instructor determines the checkout period for reserve items. The choices given to the instructors are 2 hours, 2 hours building use only, 24 hour, 3 day, and 7 day. Two hour reserve items checked out near closing time will be due before the service desk they were checked out at closes.

That depends upon a number of factors: how long the data remains valid, how frequently new data is collected, how it is used, who all might want to make use of it, and what its historical value might be to future researchers. Each discipline or community of interest may set standards for how long research data should remain accessible. When depositing your data into a data repository, you can discuss with its administrators how long you'd like that data to remain accessible.

The fees you pay at the beginning of each semester establish a printing allotment for use in the Student Computer Labs (SCLs) which includes the 24 Commons. Additional funds can be added to your account by going to printing.unt.edu

The staff of the UNT Libraries are neither qualified nor permitted to provide appraisals of works of art.

Our Posters and Prints page provides information on Researching and Evaluating Prints and Posters. It includes a list of Price Guides and a list of Professional Appraisers, some of whom may be able to give you a general idea of what your print or poster may be worth.

If you are okay exploring on your own, use the +FIND tab above, to use the Search Tools. Under "Databases and More" either search for a generic term or subject, or use the tools to select and browse through our large selection of subscription services.

If you are specifically looking for journal articles, use the "Online Articles" search. You'll get tons of results.

If you are completely overwhelmed and don't know where to start. Use our Ask Us Service, or maybe explore some of our database tutorials.

The Archives and Rare Books department offers extensive reference services to facilitate use of our collections. We are happy to help you locate resources, answer questions and provide limited research service. Staff is not available to fill research requests requiring in-depth research or extensive use of materials.

If the company is no longer traded on any exchange, you will need to do some research to determine the value of the shares and/or redeeming the shares. We can't do the research for you, but here are some suggestions:

First, be sure you have the following information, all of which should be on the certificate:

The name of the company

The date the shares were issued

The state in which the company was incorporated

The most basic question to resolve is whether the company still exists. It might have changed names, been purchased by another company, etc. The first thing you might do is call or write the transfer agent that is listed on the front of the certificate. A transfer agent handles transfers of stock certificates and should be able to advise you on their value.

If the transfer agent no longer exists or cannot help you, you might try to contact the company directly. The stock certificate should show the state where the company was incorporated. Contact the Secretary of State in that state, and ask for the Business Corporations Section. (There are links to several state agency Web sites in the Goldsheet Obsolete Securities Web site listed above.) They should be able to give you a history of the company (when it began, merged, dissolved, went bankrupt, etc.). From there you can contact the existing company (if there is one) to find out the value.

Even if the certificate turns out to be worthless as stock, old certificates can still have considerable value for collectors. The Web sites listed above give sources where you can look up the collector value of an old stock certificate.

Try to absorb all of the moisture by blotting with paper towels. Even if it is a small spill, it is important that the book receive treatment as soon as possible in order to prevent mold growth, page blocking (pages sticking together permanently), and warping. If you can't return the book to the library immediately, stand the book up and fan out the pages so that it can air dry. Bring it to the Willis Library Services Desk as soon as possible; do not put it in the book drop. Do not seal it in a plastic bag, as this can encourage mold growth. You may be charged a fine for damaging the book, but if you bring it to the Library as soon as possible, the Preservation Unit can minimize the damage.

Yes, in most cases. As a U.S. Federal Depository Library and a Texas State Publications Depository Library, we provide reference assistance to the UNT community, to the citizens of the 26th Congressional District of Texas, and to the general public in Denton, in Texas, and throughout the world.

All government publications are available for use in the library building. A picture I.D. (e.g., a driver license or passport) may be required to photocopy certain reserve materials.

Some electronic materials are restricted to UNT students and faculty. Others may need to be installed on our computers before use. We recommend that you call our Service Desk at 940-565-2870 at least 24 hours in advance to find out if the electronic materials you need are available for use.

Yes, in many cases funding agencies require a data management plan, even if you don't expect to generate data. It is acceptable to state in the Data Management Plan that the project is not anticipated to generate data or samples that require management and/or sharing, but you should explain why this is the case. Keep in mind that there are a variety of types of data (beyond numerical datasets) that you might want to manage over the lifespan of the project.

The UNT Libraries do not charge researchers for archiving their research data. However, if a research project expects to produce more than 1 TB of data, plans to archive it in the UNT Data Repository, and applies for grant funding from an agency that will fund costs related to data management, we ask that you write into the grant a cost of $100 per TB per year for 5 years.

Generally, there is no limit to the number of regular circulating items that may be checked out. However, Courtesy Card holders are limited to checking out ten items at a time. Also, Library users with a TexShare card issued by a public library are limited to five items at a time. See: Borrowing Books and other Regular Circulating Items

Yes, there is a digital scanner available for visitors to use at no charge. It will scan all formats including microfilm, microfiche, and microcards. It is available when the Libraries are open. It is recommended that you bring a flash drive to save your scans. Materials may be saved in many formats, including PDF, TIFF, JPEG, etc.

Determining whether the use of an image or picture is fair use is complex. Traditionally, courts have held that educational, con-commercial use of materials is fair use, however it is important to consider all four factors of fair use together. Please refer to the fair use section of our copyright guide, which explains the four factors and provides other helpful resources.

Many government documents at UNT may be checked out at theEagle Commons Library Service Desk by presenting a current I.D. card that is honored by the UNT Libraries. See the Circulation Policies & Procedures of the UNT Libraries for information about loan periods, checkout limits, renewals, fines, and replacement charges for lost or damaged materials.

If you are not a UNT student, you may be eligible to apply for a UNT Libraries Courtesy Card, which may also be used to check out government documents.

Some government documents are "non-circulating", which means they must be used in the library building, and may not be checked out. Exceptions to this rule are made in special cases, such as student class presentations or faculty research. Please call our Service Desk at 940-565-2870 for more information about "non-circulating" check-outs.

1.1 The UNT Libraries cannot grant or deny permission to reproduce these images, as we are not the copyright holders for the original documents.

1.2 Many, but not all, government documents are in the public domain. You may check the original and/or digital versions to check for a copyright symbol and author name(s).

1.3 If you use a digital image from one of our collections, we request that you credit us as a source by including our institution name and the object’s URL. Please do this regardless of whether you publish the image in print or online. For example:

LexisNexis products are available to anyone, including the general public, using any computer on the UNT campus. Currently enrolled UNT students and UNT faculty and staff can access LexisNexis products off campus with a UNT EUID and password. [See On & Off Campus Access]

To access LexisNexis and ProQuest products from the Libraries home page

Select the "Databases" tab from the "Start Your Research" menu.

Enter "lexisnexis" or "proquest" and click the Search button, or select LexisNexis or ProQuest products from the drop-down menu under "Go Directly to:".

Some products that were formerly owned by LexisNexis have been acquired by ProQuest. The following products are available at UNT:

LexisNexis Academic has news, law reviews, and federal and state statutes, regulations, administrative decisions, and court cases.

When an item is deemed a "work made for hire," the employer of a creator is considered to be the author and owner of the work. Works are usually designated as "works made for hire" when:

an employee prepares a work within the scope of his or her employment.

Or, when an independent contractor signs a written agreement with another person and deems a work a "work made for hire." For the University of North Texas's policy on "works made for hire," see UNT 's Intellectual Property Policy (08.003).

Microforms are materials that contain microreproductions of documents that are commonly reduced to 1/25th of the original document size. This allows a vast amount of information to be stored in a small space. They come in several formats; microfilm which is film printed on a reel, microfiche which is film printed on flat sheets, and microcard which is printed on paper similar to an index card.

"Data" may include traditional numerical datasets in a variety of formats, but may also include text files, images, audio or video files, transcripts, field notes, and a variety of other forms of research documentation. See the "What is Data?" section of our Data Management libguide for more examples. Research data is typically distinguished from published results or articles when choosing an appropriate repository for your materials, but UNT Repository Services can link finished articles or reports to their appropriate data files in their respective repositories.

Try browsing through our subject guides. These guides are written by librarians whose focus is on serving the needs of various academic units at UNT. To find a guide you can:

Subject Guides:
Browse the Subject Guides Site, itself, or
Click on the +FIND tab at the top of this page and on the search box, choose the subject guides tab. Now, either search for an existing Subject Guide or Class Page or use the dropdown menu to filter guides to your area of interest.

Alternative: If you want fast access to a wide variety of sources, use the Online Articles tab in the +FIND Tab, do a search on your interest area, and use the facets in the results to further limit (or expand) your query to include/exclude various subjects and material types. If your search is broad enough, the system will suggest specialized databases. You may need to refine your search results further.

Contact the Library Services Desk. Depending on the extent of the damage, you may have to pay a rebind fee or, if the damage is extensive, you may have to pay the replacement cost of the item. See: Damaged Item Charges

Generally, if you are a UNT faculty, staff or student and are having trouble accessing your account, visit https://ams.unt.edu to manage your EUID.

If you are having trouble using your EUID to log into the library catalog to renew books or view course reserve materials, the problem may be your password. Make sure that it does not contain characters such as $, >, or <. For security reasons, the catalog system does not allow these characters. Try changing your password so that it only contains upper-case and lower-case letters, numbers, and underscores.

Remote Storage is an offsite facility storing library materials. This facility is not open to the public, however, materials may be requested from there using the Online Holds Service . If you need journal articles or book chapters, you may request them through our Document Delivery Service. For long runs of journals request access to the Library Annex Reading Room.

The Science and Technology Library's name was changed to Eagle Commons Library and is located in the same building as always. The building was formerly called the Information Science Building, but is now Sycamore Hall.

A course password is needed to access electronic reserves. The instructor of the class determines the password. It is the responsibility of the instructor to give it to members of the class. Libraries' staff are not able to provide the password.

According to the Federal Library Depository Act of 1962, a government document is defined as "informational matter which is published as an individual document at government expense, or as required by law" (44 U.S.C. § 1901).

In general, most publications issued by international, federal, state, or local government agencies are considered government documents. These publications may be produced in a variety of formats, including printed paper, microfiche, and audiovisual materials. In recent years, government information resources have been expanded to include computerized formats such as CD-ROMs, DVDs, and Internet sites.

Approval plans are plans in which a commercial vendor supplies to the library immediately after publication those books which meet specific subject parameters. They are a quick, simple, and economical method for acquiring a core of current trade and scholarly materials in selected subject areas. The approval books come ready to be shelved.

Copyright infringement is the act of violating any of a copyright owner’s exclusive rights granted by the federal Copyright Act. This happens when a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, performed, publicly displayed, or made into a derivative work without the permission of the copyright owner.

ILLiad is an Interlibrary Loan program patrons may use to request books, microforms, articles, and other items from institutions other than the UNT Libraries. ILLiad is available to all UNT faculty, students, and staff. To use this service you must register for an account.

Interlibrary Loan, or ILL, is a service, which provides access to the collections of libraries throughout the world for research purposes. If UNT does not own a book or journal article you need, you may request it though Interlibrary Loan.

UNT Scholarly Works serves as the UNT Open Access institutional repository. This repository is a special collection housed in the UNT Digital Library. The Scholarly Works repository collection brings together the research and scholarly work of the UNT community. Find out more about UNT Scholarly Works here.
